🍪 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲 (𝟐𝟗 𝐌𝐚𝐲) – 𝐀 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰! 🍪

Did you know it’s National Biscuit Day, tomorrow 29 May? 🎉 While you’re enjoying your favourite treat, here’s a fun career twist to think about…

👉 “𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑢𝑖𝑡, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒?”

It might sound like a curveball, but questions like this 𝑑𝑜 pop up in interviews. Employers aren’t testing your biscuit knowledge—they’re exploring your 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

💡 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬:

☑️ Pick a biscuit that reflects your strengths
☑️ Link it clearly to your skills or workstyle
☑️ Keep it light but professional and personable

✨𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬:

• “I’d be a digestive—reliable, adaptable, and goes well with anything (team player!).”
• “I’d be a ginger biscuit—resilient, with a bit of spark when challenges arise.”
• “I’d be a chocolate chip cookie—approachable, positive, and full of energy.”

Or if you are like RGU Careers Consultant, Lynsey Brosnan who chose a party ring - “Positive, inclusive and team-orientated.“ 😃

Even unexpected questions are a chance to show what you bring to the table.
👉 So… what biscuit are you?

👀 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

When Megan Wortman started her placement with International Medical Management in 2024, she did not think she would be giving an award acceptance speech in front of over 800 people.

That is exactly what Megan was doing on Friday 17th April at the Northern Star Business Awards 2026, where International Medical Management won the Student Placement award.

A placement that began in marketing and went on to give Megan hands-on experience across HR, finance, and operations.

Placements don’t just build your CV — they build your confidence, skills, and direction. From discovering new interests to landing real job opportunities before you even graduate, the possibilities are huge.

Congratulations to the team at International Medical Management (IMM) and to Megan on the fantastic, and award-winning, placement. 👏🎉
